Chapter 3:
**********Dezeray’s POV*******
“You are going to be late.”
Really now? The first words I have heard from my mom since my parents fight, and they are that I’m going to be late. Wow.
“No shit. Don’t talk to me until you want to act like a real mother.” I replied to my mom’s monotone words with words oozing anger and annoyance.
Currently, I am rushing around the kitchen as I forgot to set my alarm for school this morning. My mom was in the kitchen when I came down, and she didn’t even bother to wake me up. Some mom she is! Anyways as I was saying, I was shocked to enter the kitchen and see her in sweatpants, a baggy hoodie, and her hair messily in a bun, that used to be prim and proper. To be frank, my mom looked hideous. As rude as it is, this was not her best day, my mom usually looks very professional and you would never catch her in these clothes.
I finish eating as quick as I can and run up stairs to my bathroom. I brush my teeth like a speed demon, grab my bag and run out to my car with no goodbyes between my mom and I. Ouch. I unlock my car, hop in and start it. I throw my seatbelt on and look behind me as I pull out from my house and head to school at 8:40am. Now you see here, school starts at 8:50, and it is a 10 minute drive in good traffic. There is never good traffic on a Monday, and I still have to run to my locker which is on the opposite side of the school to where homeroom is. Great. I just love life at the moment. When I arrive at school at exactly 8:53am, I double check my outfit of the day. Black leggings, a grey tanktop with an unbuttoned jean shirt over top, and to pair it off, black combat boots. I look alright today I guess… Not really, but whatever.

“You are late Miss Carters. Got an excuse for me? I don’t expect this behaviour from you, and it better not happen again. Got it? Math is important and I won’t tolerate being late.”
“Yes, sorry Mr.Jones! I slept in, and was running late. I apologize and it won’t be happening again. I can promise you that one.”
Rolling his eyes, he nods for me to take a seat. See, Mr.Jones hates students. You can be the best student out there, but he will hate you. He is about 60 years old, big glasses, and next to no hair. I think he has dealt with students for too long and needs to retire.
About 10 minutes to the bell for my next class, and i realise something majorly wrong. My next class is art, and guess who is in my art class? Emily? Yes, but not who I was thinking about.
Ashton. Ashton freaking Elliott is in my next class! Oh my god, I am going to die. He probably wants to kill me after what happened yesterday morning. Man, my luck keeps disappearing when I need it most. Hopefully my luck won’t fail me again and Ashton will skip class entirely. Ashton usually shows up for art though. For some reason, we have all of our classes together, and the only ones he usually shows up for is art, and gym. My schedule is as follows: math, art, lunch, science, and gym. Ashton never shows up for math, and if he does, he is stoned out of his mind. And as for science, really rarely will he show up. Usually if he does, he has nothing better to do. But my question is, when he doesn’t show up for science and comes for gym, what the hell does he do for an hour and a half? I’m not quite sure what he does in his spare time, and I don’t think I want to know.
“Uh hello?? Dezeray? The bell rung like, 2 minutes ago you coming to art or you gonna stay here staring into space?”
“Oh, uh thanks Cassie, totally zoned out there!” Wow, time goes by fast when you're in your own world! Cassie smiled, then began to head out of math to art, which obviously we both have next. Cassie is one of my good friends, with blonde hair, and brown eyes, and she has many friends. She is very social and loves to meet new people, and become friends. I myself, don’t care to do that, I like my circle of friends, and thats it. Just me and my close friends.
I pack up my things quickly, and head out the door to my art class. I love art! Art has always been something I’ve been interested in. I think I will go into something artsy, but I don’t know yet. I try not to worry about Ashton being in class, because lets face it, he probably won’t show up. But something in me disagrees with what I’m thinking. I have a feeling he is going to be in class today, and isn’t going to just skip…
*****Ashton’s POV****
School sucks. Evercrest High is like jail, but you leave everyday at 3:30, and you have weekends out. Regardless, it’s like jail. The bell for second class just rang, and I’m here for my second class of the day, art. I like art, I find it to be the only thing in school, asides from gym thats worth doing. Art can be fun, and I think if I get my shit together, maybe I can do something in the arts. Maybe. I walk down the middle of the halls, and the other students part like the red sea. They are scared of me, which is good. I don’t need friends asides from John and Tyler. Those two are my bros. I grew up with them. The rest of this school consists of fakes, and idiots. Pass.
I reach room 324 for art, and walk in. Barely anyone is in the class yet, and I take a seat in the back right corner, with no one around me. Just the way I like it, me and my art. Besides, no one will want to sit beside me, so I don’t have to worry. A couple minutes later the bell rings, and the rest of the class slowly enters. About 3 minutes into class, the door opens up revealing Dezeray. Damn it. I forgot she was in my classes. What she said to me yesterday after I helped her, was so fucked. She may be pretty- woah I mean, not like, ugly ‘cause she isn’t my type.- but she sure is dumb as fuck. I glance at her, and our eyes lock. I give her a death stare, and she averts her eyes. Mrs.Jackson doesn’t mind Dezeray being late, and sends her to sit down. I look around the room, then notice one minor issue. The only available seat in the class is next to me. Somehow, my luck has turned bad, and I have to have the devil herself sit beside me. Just great.
